Background and Basis of Present

Background and Basis of Presentation	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2018
Background and Basis of Presentation	1. Background and Basis of Presentation The Company is a leading home and security products company with a portfolio of leading branded products used for residential home repair, remodeling, new construction and security applications. References to “Fortune Brands,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries as a whole, unless the context otherwise requires. Basis of Presentation 10-K year-end year-end In September 2018, we acquired 100% of membership interests of Fiber Composites LLC (“Fiberon”), a leading U.S. manufacturer of outdoor performance materials used in decking, railing and fencing products for a total purchase price of approximately $470.0 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The acquisition of Fiberon provides category expansion and product extension opportunities into the outdoor living space for our Doors & Security segment. The financial results were included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 and in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and statements of cash flow beginning in September 2018. In July 2018, we publicly announced an internal reorganization to combine our Doors & Security segments under common leadership to drive innovation, accelerate product development, and enhance investments and business processes. In connection with the reorganization, we changed how our chief operating decision maker evaluates and allocates the resources for the combined business. Reporting for the new Doors & Security segment began in the third quarter of 2018 and historical financial segment information has been restated to conform to the new segment presentation. In October 2017, we acquired Victoria + Albert, a UK-based UK-based In September 2016, we acquired ROHL LLC (“ROHL”) and in a related transaction, we acquired TCL Manufacturing which gave us ownership of Perrin & Rowe Limited (“Perrin & Rowe”), and in May 2016, we acquired Riobel Inc (“Riobel”). The financial results of ROHL, Perrin & Rowe and Riobel were included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and statements of cash flow beginning in September 2016 and May 2016, respectively. The cash flows from discontinued operations for 2018, 2017 and 2016 were not separately classified on the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. Information on Business Segments was revised to exclude these discontinued operations.

Significant Accounting Policies

Significant Accounting Policies	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2018
Significant Accounting Policies	2. Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates Cash and Cash Equivalents Allowances for Doubtful Accounts Inventories first-in, first-out During the fourth quarter of 2018, we determined that it was preferable to change our accounting policy from last-in, first-out Property, Plant and Equipment Buildings and leasehold improvements 15 to 40 years Machinery and equipment 3 to 15 years Software 3 to 7 years Long-lived Assets During 2017, we recorded an impairment of $5.1 million related to a long lived asset to be disposed of in selling, general and administrative expenses. Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets We evaluate the recoverability of goodwill using a weighting of the income (80%) and market (20%) approaches. For the income approach, we use a discounted cash flow model, estimating the future cash flows of the reporting units to which the goodwill relates, and then discounting the future cash flows at a market-participant-derived discount rate. In determining the estimated future cash flows, we consider current and projected future levels of income based on management’s plans for that business; business trends, prospects and market and economic conditions; and market-participant considerations. Furthermore, our projection for the U.S. home products market is inherently subject to a number of uncertain factors, such as employment, home prices, credit availability, new home starts and the rate of home foreclosures. For the market approach, we apply market multiples for peer groups to the current operating results of the reporting units to determine each reporting unit’s fair value. The Company’s reporting units are operating segments, or one level below operating segments when appropriate. When the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we measure and recognize the amount of the goodwill impairment loss based on that difference. Purchased intangible assets other than goodwill are amortized over their useful lives unless those lives are determined to be indefinite. The determination of the useful life of an intangible asset other than goodwill is based on factors including historical tradename performance with respect to consumer name recognition, geographic market presence, market share, and plans for ongoing tradename support and promotion. Certain of our tradenames have been assigned an indefinite life as we currently anticipate that these tradenames will contribute cash flows to the Company indefinitely. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are evaluated at least annually to determine whether the indefinite useful life is appropriate. We measure the fair value of identifiable intangible assets upon acquisition and we review for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, and whenever market or business events indicate there may be a potential impairment of that intangible asset. Impairment losses are recorded to the extent that the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value. We measure fair value using the standard relief-from-royalty approach which estimates the present value of royalty income that could be hypothetically earned by licensing the brand name to a third party over the remaining useful life. The determination of fair value using this technique requires the use of estimates and assumptions related to the projected tradename revenue growth, the assumed royalty rate and the discount rate. We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. Qualitative factors include changes in volume, customers and the industry. If it is deemed more likely than not that an intangible asset is impaired, we will perform a quantitative impairment test. The events and/or circumstances that could have a potential negative effect on the estimated fair value of our reporting units and indefinite-lived tradenames include: actual new construction and repair and remodel growth rates that fall below our assumptions, actions of key customers, increases in discount rates, continued economic uncertainty, higher levels of unemployment, weak consumer confidence, lower levels of discretionary consumer spending and a decrease in royalty rates. We cannot predict the occurrence of certain events or changes in circumstances that might adversely affect the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Investments in Equity Securities non-controlling During the fourth quarter of 2018, our Plumbing segment entered into strategic partnerships with several companies who incorporate emerging technology into plumbing-related products, and at the same time acquired non-controlling shut-off As of December 31, 2018, all of our investments in our strategic partners do not have readily determinable fair values. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the carrying value of our investments was $28.7 million and zero, respectively, which is included in other assets within our Consolidated Balance Sheet. There were no impairments or other changes resulting from observable prices changes recorded during the year ended December 31, 2018. Impairments of $7.0 million were recorded within Other income, net within the Consolidated Statements of Income during the year ended December 31, 2017 (see Note 22). Defined Benefit Plans We record amounts relating to these plans based on calculations in accordance with ASC requirements for Compensation – Retirement Benefits, which include various actuarial assumptions, including discount rates, assumed rates of return, compensation increases, turnover rates and health care cost trend rates. We recognize changes in the fair value of pension plan assets and net actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10 percent of the greater of the fair value of pension plan assets or each plan’s projected benefit obligation (the “corridor”) in earnings immediately upon remeasurement, which is at least annually in the fourth quarter of each year. We review our actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and make modifications to the assumptions based on current economic conditions and trends. The discount rate used to measure obligations is based on a spot-rate yield curve on a plan-by-plan Insurance Reserves Litigation Contingencies Income Taxes In accordance with ASC requirements for Income Taxes, we establish deferred tax liabilities or assets for temporary differences between financial and tax reporting bases and subsequently adjust them to reflect changes in tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. We record a valuation allowance reducing deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. We record liabilities for uncertain income tax positions based on a two-step The Tax Act made significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code including a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, generally providing for an exemption from federal income tax for dividends received from foreign subsidiaries, and imposing a one- time The Tax Act included a provision for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Revenue Recognition Cost of Products Sold Customer Program Costs Selling, General and Administrative Expenses . Advertising costs, which amounted to $243.6 million, $233.2 million and $199.1 million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively, are principally expensed as incurred. Advertising costs paid to customers as pricing rebates include product displays, marketing administration costs, media production costs and point of sale materials. Advertising costs recorded as a reduction to net sales, primarily cooperative advertising, were $72.4 million, $65.6 million and $52.5 million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Advertising costs recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses were $171.2 million, $167.6 million and $146.6 million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Research and development expenses include product development, product improvement, product engineering and process improvement costs. Research and development expenses, which were $50.3 million, $50.7 million and $53.1 million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively, are expensed as incurred. Stock-based Compensation Earnings Per Share Foreign Currency Translation Derivative Financial Instruments Deferred currency gains/(losses) of $2.2 million, $0.4 million and $(3.5) million (before tax impact) were reclassified into earnings for the year ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Based on foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 2018, we estimate that $3.3 million of net currency derivative gains included in AOCI as of December 31, 2018 will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, 2014-09 A majority of our sales revenue continues to be recognized when products are shipped from our facilities to our customers. Previously, for certain products, we recognized sales revenue at destination as we determined risks and rewards transferred at that point. We now recognize sales revenue for these customers at the shipping point of the products consistent with the respective contractual terms. See Note 14, “Revenue,” for further information. Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “right-of-use” 2018-01, 2018-10 2018-11, 2016-02 We plan to adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2019 using the transition method introduced by ASU 2018-11, While we are continuing to finalize our assessment of the impacts of the standard, we have completed our scoping reviews, identified our significant leases by segment and by asset type, and made progress in developing accounting policies upon adoption of the standard. We have implemented an accounting system to support the future state leasing process and input the data from substantially all of our existing leases into the system.

Acquisitions and Dispositions	4. Acquisitions and Dispositions In September 2018, we acquired 100% of membership interests of Fiber Composites LLC (“Fiberon”), a leading U.S. manufacturer of outdoor performance materials used in decking, railing and fencing products for a total purchase price of approximately $470.0 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The acquisition of Fiberon provides category expansion and product extension opportunities into the outdoor living space for our Doors & Security segment. Fiberon’s net sales and operating income in 2018 were not material to the Company. We have not included pro forma financial information as it is immaterial to our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. We financed the transaction using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit and term loan facilities. The results of operations are included in the Doors & Security segment from the date of the acquisition. We expect goodwill related to this acquisition to be deductible for income tax purposes. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition.

We apply significant judgement in determining the estimates and assumptions used to determine the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets, including forecasted revenue growth rates, customer attrition rates, discount rates and assumed royalty rates. The Company is in the process of finalizing valuations of certain tangible and intangible assets, including property, plant and equipment and identifiable intangible assets. The provisional measurement of property, plant and equipment, identifiable intangible assets, and goodwill is subject to change. Any change in the acquisition date fair value of the acquired net assets will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. Goodwill includes expected sales and cost synergies. Identifiable intangible assets primarily consist of customer relationships and tradenames. In October 2017, we acquired Victoria + Albert, a UK-based premium brand of standalone bathtubs, sinks, tub fillers, faucets and other accessories. In July 2017, we acquired Shaws, a UK-based luxury plumbing products company that specializes in manufacturing and selling fireclay sinks and selling brassware and accessories. The total combined consideration paid was approximately $146 million, including $19.9 million of additional purchase price consideration paid related to post-closing adjustments and deferred acquisition payments during 2018. The combined consideration paid is subject to further deferred acquisition payments. Net sales and operating income in 2017 from these acquisitions were not material to the Company. We financed the transactions using cash on hand and borrowings under our existing revolving and term loan credit facilities. The results of the operations are included in the Plumbing segment from the respective dates of acquisition. We do not expect any portion of goodwill to be deductible for income tax purposes. In April 2017, we completed the sale of Field ID, our cloud-based inspection and safety compliance software product line included in our Doors & Security segment. We recorded a pre-tax pre-tax

Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets	6. Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets We had goodwill of $2,080.3 million and $1,912.0 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase of $168.3 million was primarily due to the acquisition of Fiberon in the Doors & Security segment as well as acquisition related adjustments in our Plumbing segment related to the acquisition of Victoria + Albert, partially offset by foreign translation adjustments. The change in the net carrying amount of goodwill by segment was as follows: (In millions) Cabinets Plumbing Doors & Security Total Goodwill Balance at December 31, 2016 (a) $ 924.3 $ 670.2 $ 239.3 $ 1,833.8 2017 translation adjustments 2.0 3.3 1.2 6.5 Acquisition-related adjustments — 71.7 — 71.7 Balance at December 31, 2017 (a) $ 926.3 $ 745.2 $ 240.5 $ 1,912.0 2018 translation adjustments (2.3 ) (5.9 ) (1.4 ) (9.6 ) Acquisition-related adjustments — 4.4 173.5 177.9 Balance at December 31, 2018 (a) $ 924.0 $ 743.7 $ 412.6 $ 2,080.3 (a) Net of accumulated impairment losses of $399.5 million in the Doors & Security segment. We also had identifiable intangible assets, principally tradenames and customer relationships, of $1,246.8 million and $1,162.4 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The $117.9 million increase in gross identifiable intangible assets was primarily due to the acquisition of Fiberon in our Doors & Security segment partially offset by a tradename impairment charges of $62.6 million in our Cabinets segment. The gross carrying value and accumulated amortization by class of intangible assets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows: As of December 31, 2018 As of December 31, 2017 (In millions) Gross Accumulated Net Book Gross Accumulated Net Book Indefinite-lived tradenames $ 673.9 $ — $ 673.9 $ 709.9 $ — $ 709.9 Amortizable intangible assets Tradenames 19.8 (11.9 ) 7.9 15.7 (9.9 ) 5.8 Customer and contractual relationships 800.3 (260.2 ) 540.1 663.8 (232.0 ) 431.8 Patents/proprietary technology 73.5 (48.6 ) 24.9 60.2 (45.3 ) 14.9 Total 893.6 (320.7 ) 572.9 739.7 (287.2 ) 452.5 Total identifiable intangibles $ 1,567.5 $ (320.7 ) $ 1,246.8 $ 1,449.6 $ (287.2 ) $ 1,162.4 Amortizable intangible assets, principally customer relationships and patents/proprietary technology, are subject to amortization on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life, ranging from 2 to 30 years, based on the assessment of a number of factors that may impact useful life. These factors include historical tradename performance with respect to consumer name recognition, geographic market presence, market share, plans for ongoing tradename support and promotion, customer attrition rates, and other relevant factors. We expect to record intangible amortization of approximately $43 million in 2019, $42 million in 2020, $42 million in 2021, $40 million in 2022, and $39 million in 2023. We review indefinite-lived tradename intangible assets for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, as well as whenever market or business events indicate there may be a potential impact on a specific intangible asset. Impairment losses are recorded to the extent that the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value. We measure fair value using the standard relief-from-royalty approach which estimates the present value of royalty income that could be hypothetically earned by licensing the tradename to a third party over the remaining useful life. The determination of fair value using this technique requires the use of estimates and assumptions related to projected tradename revenue growth, the assumed royalty rate and the discount rate. During 2018, we recognized asset impairment charges of $62.6 million related to two indefinite-lived tradenames within our Cabinets segment. During the third quarter of 2018, we recognized an impairment of $27.1 million related to one tradename, which was primarily the result of reduced revenue growth expectations associated with Cabinets operations in Canada, including the announced closure of Company-owned retail locations during the third quarter of 2018. During the fourth quarter of 2018, we recognized an impairment of $35.5 million related to another tradename, which was primarily the result of lower than forecasted sales during the fourth quarter of 2018 as well as projected changes in the mix of revenue across our tradenames in future periods, including the impact of more moderate industry growth expectations, which were finalized during our annual planning process conducted during the fourth quarter. The fair values of the impaired tradenames were measured using the relief-from-royalty approach, which estimates the present value of royalty income that could be hypothetically earned by licensing the tradename to a third party over its remaining useful life. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in estimating the fair value include estimated future annual net sales for the tradename, assumed royalty rate, income tax rate, and a discount rate that reflects the level of risk associated with the tradename’s future sales and profitability. We selected the assumptions used in the financial forecasts using historical data, supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions, estimated growth rates, and management plans. These assumptions represent level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy (refer to Note 10). As of December 31, 2018, the carrying value of the tradenames that were impaired was approximately $152.0 million. We did not record any asset impairment changes associated with goodwill or indefinite-lived assets in 2017 or 2016. The events and/or circumstances that could have a potential negative effect on the estimated fair value of our reporting units and indefinite-lived tradenames include: actual new construction and repair and remodel growth rates that fall below our assumptions, actions of key customers, increases in discount rates, continued economic uncertainty, higher levels of unemployment, weak consumer confidence, lower levels of discretionary consumer spending, a decrease in royalty rates and decline in the trading price of our common stock. We cannot predict the occurrence of certain events or changes in circumstances that might adversely affect the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.

External Debt and Financing Arrangements	8. External Debt and Financing Arrangements In September 2018, we issued $600 million of unsecured senior notes (“2018 Senior Notes”) in a registered public offering. The 2018 Senior Notes are due in 2023 with a coupon rate of 4%. All other terms and conditions of the 2018 Senior Notes are substantially consistent with the 2015 Senior Notes. We used the proceeds from the 2018 Senior Notes offering to pay down our revolving credit facility. On December 31, 2018, the net carrying value of the 2018 Senior Notes, net of underwriting commissions, price discounts, and debt issuance costs, was $595.0 million. In June 2015, we issued $900 million of unsecured senior notes (“2015 Senior Notes”, and collectively with the 2018 Senior Notes, the “Senior Notes”) in a registered public offering. The 2015 Senior Notes consist of two tranches: $400 million of five-year notes due in 2020 with a coupon rate of 3% and $500 million of ten- year In March 2018, the Company entered into a $350 million term loan for general corporate purposes that matures in March 2019. In August 2018, the Company amended its existing $350 million term loan to increase the borrowings under the term loan from $350 million to $525 million. All other terms and conditions on the amended term loan remain the same as the previous $350 million term loan. Interest rates under the term loan are variable based on LIBOR at the time of the borrowing and the Company’s long-term credit rating and can range from LIBOR + 0.625% to LIBOR + 1.25%. Covenants under the term loan are the same as the existing $1.25 billion revolving credit agreement. As of December 31, 2018, we were in compliance with all covenants under this term loan. In June 2016, the Company amended and restated its credit agreement to combine and rollover the 2011 revolving credit facility and term loan into a new standalone $1.25 billion revolving credit facility. The amendment and restatement was a non-cash We currently have uncommitted bank lines of credit in China, which provide for unsecured borrowings for working capital of up to $23.5 million in aggregate, of which zero were outstanding, as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. The weighted-average interest rates on these borrowings were zero in 2018 and 2017. The components of external long-term debt were as follows: (In millions) 2018 2017 $400 million unsecured senior note due June 2020 $ 399.0 $ 398.3 $500 million unsecured senior note due June 2025 495.0 494.3 $600 million unsecured senior note due September 2023 595.0 — $1,250 million revolving credit agreement due June 2021 320.0 615.0 $525 million term loan due March 2019 525.0 — Total debt 2,334.0 1,507.6 Less: current portion 525.0 — Total long-term debt $ 1,809.0 $ 1,507.6 Senior Notes payments during the next five years as of December 31, 2018 are zero in 2019, $400 million in 2020, zero in 2021 and $600 million in 2022 through 2023. In our debt agreements, there are normal and customary events of default which would permit the lenders to accelerate the debt if not cured within applicable grace periods, such as failure to pay principal or interest when due or a change in control of the Company. There were no events of default as of December 31, 2018.

Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2018
Financial Instruments	9. Financial Instruments We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We principally use financial instruments to reduce the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and commodities used as raw materials in our products. The principal derivative financial instruments we enter into on a routine basis are foreign exchange contracts. Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value. The counterparties to derivative contracts are major financial institutions. We are subject to credit risk on these contracts equal to the fair value of these instruments. Management currently believes that the risk of incurring material losses is unlikely and that the losses, if any, would be immaterial to the Company. Raw materials used by the Company are subject to price volatility caused by weather, supply conditions, geopolitical and economic variables, and other unpredictable external factors. As a result, from time to time, we enter into commodity swaps to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of materials used in our operations. We account for these commodity derivatives as economic hedges or cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair value of economic hedges are recorded directly into current period earnings. There were no material commodity swap contracts outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. We enter into foreign exchange contracts primarily to hedge forecasted sales and purchases denominated in select foreign currencies, thereby limiting currency risk that would otherwise result from changes in exchange rates. The periods of the foreign exchange contracts correspond to the periods of the forecasted transactions, which generally do not exceed 12 to 15 months subsequent to the latest balance sheet date. For derivative instruments that are designated as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item, are recognized on the same line of the statement of income. The effective portions of cash flow hedges are reported in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and are recognized in the statement of income when the hedged item affects earnings. The changes in fair value for net investment hedges are recognized in the statement of income when realized upon sale or upon complete or substantially complete liquidation of the investment in the foreign entity. The ineffective portion of all hedges is recognized in current period earnings. In addition, changes in the fair value of all economic hedge transactions are immediately recognized in current period earnings. Our primary foreign currency hedge contracts pertain to the Canadian dollar, the British pound, the Chinese yuan and the Mexican peso. The gross U.S. dollar equivalent notional amount of all foreign currency derivative hedges outstanding at December 31, 2018 was $345.3 million, representing a net settlement assets of $3.4 million. Based on foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 2018, we estimate that $3.3 million of net foreign currency derivative losses included in OCI as of December 31, 2018 will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months. The fair values of foreign exchange and commodity derivative instruments on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 were: Fair Value (In millions) Location 2018 2017 Assets: Foreign exchange contracts Other current assets $ 5.3 $ 0.8 Commodity contracts Other current assets — 0.2 Net investment hedges Other current assets 0.7 — Total assets $ 6.0 $ 1.0 Liabilities: Foreign exchange contracts Other current liabilities $ 1.9 $ 5.6 Net investment hedges Other current liabilities — 0.8 Total liabilities $ 1.9 $ 6.4 The effects of derivative financial instruments on the consolidated statements of income in 2018, 2017 and 2016 were: (In millions) Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income Type of hedge Location 2018 2017 2016 Cash flow Cost of products sold $ 2.0 $ 0.9 $ (3.5 ) Fair value Other (income) expense, net 3.7 (2.0 ) 2.0 Total $ 5.7 $ (1.1 ) $ (1.5 ) The effective portion of cash flow hedges recognized in other comprehensive income were net gains (losses) of $10.1 million and $(1.8) million in 2018 and 2017, respectively. In the year ended December 31, 2018, the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges recognized in other income, net, was $3.8 million and insignificant in the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Fair Value Measurements	10. Fair Value Measurements ASC requirements for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. Level 1 inputs, the highest priority, are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs reflect other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are either observable directly or through corroboration with observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs due to little or no market activity for the asset or liability, such as internally-developed valuation models. We do not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis that are level 3. The carrying value and fair value of debt as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows: (In millions) December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Value Revolving credit facility $ 320.0 $ 320.0 $ 615.0 $ 615.0 Term Loan 525.0 525.0 — — Senior Notes, net of underwriting commissions and price discounts 1,489.0 1,490.4 892.6 926.3 The estimated fair value of our term loan and revolving credit facility is determined primarily using broker quotes, which are level 2 inputs. The estimated fair value of our Senior Notes is determined by using quoted market prices of our debt securities, which are level 1 inputs. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows: (In millions) Fair Value 2018 2017 Assets: Derivative asset financial instruments (level 2) $ 6.0 $ 1.0 Deferred compensation program assets (level 2) 9.3 7.5 Total assets $ 15.3 $ 8.5 Liabilities: Derivative liability financial instruments (level 2) $ 1.9 $ 6.4 The principal derivative financial instruments we enter into on a routine basis are foreign exchange contracts.

Our stockholders approved the Plan in 2013, which provides for the granting of stock options, performance share awards, restricted stock units, and other equity-based awards, to employees, directors and consultants. As of December 31, 2018, approximately 4.6 million shares of common stock remained authorized for issuance under the Plan. In addition, shares of common stock may be automatically added to the number of shares of common stock that may be issued as awards expire, are terminated, cancelled or forfeited, or are used to satisfy the required withholding taxes with respect to existing awards under the Plans. No new stock-based awards can be made under the 2011 Plan, but there are outstanding stock options under the 2011 Plan that continue to be exercisable. Upon the exercise or payment of stock-based awards, shares of common stock are issued from authorized common shares. Stock-based compensation expense from continuing operations was as follows: (In millions) 2018 2017 2016 Stock option awards $ 8.6 $ 7.4 $ 7.2 Restricted stock units 21.3 21.6 17.2 Performance awards 6.3 13.6 6.7 Director awards 1.0 1.0 0.9 Total pre-tax 37.2 43.6 32.0 Tax benefit 6.2 15.2 11.4 Total after tax expense $ 31.0 $ 28.4 $ 20.6 Included in compensation costs are cash-settled restricted stock units of $0.9 million that are classified as a liability. Compensation costs that were capitalized in inventory were not material. Restricted Stock Units Restricted stock units have been granted to officers and certain employees of the Company and represent the right to receive unrestricted shares of Company common stock subject to continued employment through each vesting date. In addition, certain employees can elect to defer receipt of a portion of their RSU awards upon vesting. Compensation cost is recognized over the service period. We calculate the fair value of each restricted stock unit granted by using the average of the high and low share prices on the date of grant. Restricted stock units generally vest ratably over a three-year period. A summary of activity with respect to restricted stock units outstanding under the Plans for the year ended December 31, 2018 was as follows: Number of Restricted Weighted-Average Fair Value Non-vested 728,065 $ 54.59 Granted 356,860 61.07 Vested (373,593 ) 52.92 Forfeited (50,957 ) 59.87 Non-vested 660,375 $ 58.63 The remaining unrecognized pre-tax Stock Option Awards Stock options were granted to officers and certain employees of the Company and represent the right to purchase shares of Company common stock subject to continued employment through each vesting date. All stock-based compensation to employees is required to be measured at fair value and expensed over the requisite service period. We recognize compensation expense on awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Stock options granted under the Plans generally vest over a three-year period and have a maturity of ten years from the grant date. The fair value of Fortune Brands options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the assumptions shown in the following table: 2018 2017 2016 Current expected dividend yield 1.3% 1.4% 1.4% Expected volatility 24.0% 26.0% 30.0% Risk-free interest rate 2.6% 1.9% 1.3% Expected term 5 years 5.5 years 5.5 years The determination of expected volatility is based on a blended peer group volatility for companies in similar industries, at a similar stage of life and with similar market capitalization. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. government issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the stock options. The expected term is the period over which our employees are expected to hold their options. The expected term was determined based on the historical employee exercise behavior and the contractual term of the options. The dividend yield is based on the Company’s estimated dividend over the expected term. The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted under the Plans during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 was $14.14, $13.49 and $12.70, respectively. A summary of Fortune Brands stock option activity related to Fortune Brands and former employees of Fortune Brands, Inc., the Company from which we spun off from in 2011, for the year ended December 31, 2018 was as follows: Options Weighted- Outstanding at December 31, 2017 3,682,958 $ 36.28 Granted 628,614 63.44 Exercised (214,727 ) 22.86 Expired/forfeited (73,023 ) 59.07 Outstanding at December 31, 2018 4,023,822 $ 40.83 Options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2018 were as follows: Options Outstanding (a) Options Exercisable (b) Range Of Exercise Prices Options Weighted- Average Weighted- Options Weighted- $9.00 to $12.99 104,500 2.0 $ 12.30 104,500 $ 12.30 13.00 to 20.00 1,096,463 2.5 16.37 1,096,463 16.37 20.01 to 65.41 2,822,859 6.8 51.38 1,731,059 45.91 4,023,822 5.5 $ 40.83 2,932,022 $ 33.67 (a) At December 31, 2018, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding was $28.1 million. (b) At December 31, 2018, the weighted-average remaining contractual life of options exercisable was 4.4 years and the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable was $28.1 million. The remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards at December 31, 2018 was $5.1 million, and the weighted-average period of time over which this cost will be recognized is 1.6 years. The fair value of options that vested during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 was $6.7 million, $6.8 million and $6.0 million, respectively. The intrinsic value of Fortune Brands stock options exercised in the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 was $8.7 million, $70.6 million and $88.1 million, respectively. Performance Awards Performance share awards were granted to officers and certain employees of the Company and represent the right to earn non-GAAP The following table summarizes information about Number of Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value Non-vested 428,328 $ 52.35 Granted 140,071 63.44 Vested (136,822 ) 47.48 Forfeited (22,486 ) 57.41 Non-vested 409,091 $ 57.50 The remaining unrecognized pre-tax Director Awards Stock awards are used as part of the compensation provided to outside directors under the Plan. Awards are issued annually in the second quarter. In addition, outside directors can elect to have director fees paid in stock or can elect to defer payment of stock. Compensation cost is expensed at the time of an award based on the fair value of a share at the date of the award. In 2018, 2017 and 2016, we awarded 19,109, 15,311 and 16,471 shares of Company common stock to outside directors with a weighted average fair value on the date of the award of $54.93, $63.43 and $57.37, respectively.

Revenue

Revenue	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2018
Revenue	14. Revenue Our principal performance obligations are the sale of kitchen and bath cabinets, faucets and accessories, fiberglass and steel entry-door systems and locks, safes, safety, security devices and decking (collectively, “goods” or “products”). We recognize revenue for the sale of goods based on our assessment of when control transfers to our customers. For the majority of our sales, we recognize revenue at the point in time when we ship product from our facilities to our customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods to our customers. Payment terms on our product sales normally range from 30 to 90 days. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that we collect are excluded from revenue. The expected costs associated with our contractual warranties will continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold. See Note 18, “Product Warranties,” for further discussion. We record estimates to reduce revenue for customer programs and incentives, which are considered variable consideration, and include price discounts, volume-based incentives, promotions and cooperative advertising when revenue is recognized in order to determine the amount of consideration the Company will ultimately be entitled to receive. These estimates are based on historical and projected experience for each type of customer. In addition, for certain customer program incentives, we receive an identifiable benefit (goods or services) in exchange for the consideration given and record the associated expenditure in selling, general and administrative expenses. We account for shipping and handling costs that occur after the customer has obtained control of a product as a fulfillment activity (i.e., as an expense) rather than as a promised service (i.e., as a revenue element). These costs are classified within selling, general and administrative expenses. Settlement of our outstanding accounts receivable balances is normally within 30 to 90 days of the original sale transaction date. Obligations arise for us from customer rights to return our goods for any reason, including among others, product obsolescence, stock rotations, trade-in The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into (i) major sales distribution channels in the U.S. and (ii) total sales to customers outside the U.S. market as these categories depict the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows that are affected by economic factors. The following table disaggregates our consolidated revenue by major sales distribution channels for the year ended December 31, 2018. (In millions) December 31, 2018 Wholesalers (1) $ 2,607.3 Home Center retailers (2) 1,452.3 Other retailers (3) 311.6 Builder direct 235.4 U.S. net sales 4,606.6 International (4) 878.5 Net sales $ 5,485.1 (1) Represents sales to customers whose business is oriented towards builders, professional trades and home remodelers, inclusive of sales through our customers’ respective internet website portals. (2) Represents sales to the three largest “Do-It-Yourself” (3) Represents sales principally to our mass merchant and standalone independent e-commerce (4) Represents sales in markets outside the United States, principally in Canada, China, Europe and Mexico. Practical Expedients Incremental costs of obtaining a contract include only those costs the Company incurs that would not have been incurred if the contract had not been obtained. These costs are required to be recognized as assets and amortized over the period that the related goods or services transfer to the customer. As a practical expedient, we expense as incurred costs to obtain a contract when the expected amortization period is one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses.

Defined Benefit Plans

Defined Benefit Plans	15. Defined Benefit Plans We have a number of pension plans in the United States, covering many of the Company’s employees, however these plans have been closed to new hires. The plans provide for payment of retirement benefits, mainly commencing between the ages of 55 and 65. After meeting certain qualifications, an employee acquires a vested right to future benefits. The benefits payable under the plans are generally determined on the basis of an employee’s length of service and/or earnings. Employer contributions to the plans are made, as necessary, to ensure legal funding requirements are satisfied. Also, from time to time, we may make contributions in excess of the legal funding requirements. Service cost for 2018 relates to benefit accruals in an hourly Union defined benefit plan in our Doors & Security segment. Benefit accruals under all other defined benefit pension plans were frozen as of December 31, 2016. In addition, the Company provides postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain retirees.

Due to the risk of litigation at the time of the initial communication, the Company elected to defer the full recognition of the benefit arising from the plan amendment. Following a favorable court decision in the first quarter of 2016, the Company determined that it would realize the benefit from the plan amendment. As a result, the Company performed a re-measurement In January 2018, we adopted ASU 2017-07, non-service 2017-07 (In millions) 2017 2016 Increase to cost of products sold $ 7.5 $ 8.5 Increase to selling, general and administrative expenses 2.1 5.6 Decrease to operating income $ (9.6 ) $ (14.1 ) As of December 31, 2018, we adopted the new Society of Actuaries MP-2018 MP-2017 The amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheets that have not yet been recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost were as follows: (In millions) Pension Benefits Postretirement Benefits Net actuarial loss at December 31, 2016 $ 73.4 $ — Recognition of actuarial (loss) gain (0.9 ) 1.4 Current year actuarial gain (5.3 ) (1.4 ) Net actuarial loss at December 31, 2017 $ 67.2 $ — Recognition of actuarial (loss) gain (3.9 ) 0.1 Current year actuarial loss (gain) 8.5 (0.4 ) Net actuarial loss at December 31, 2018 $ 71.8 $ (0.3 ) Net prior service cost (credit) at December 31, 2016 $ — $ (5.1 ) Amortization — 5.1 Net prior service cost (credit) at December 31, 2017 $ — $ — Amortization — — Net prior service cost (credit) at December 31, 2018 $ — $ — Total at December 31, 2018 $ 71.8 $ (0.3 ) There are no accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year.

All of these investment assets, except for group annuity/insurance contracts are measured using net asset value per share as a practical expedient per ASC 820. Following the retrospective adoption of ASU 2015-07 The terms and conditions for redemptions vary for each class of the investment assets valued at net asset value per share as a practical expedient. Real estate assets may be redeemed quarterly with a 45 day redemption notice period. Investment assets in multi-strategy hedge funds may be redeemed semi-annually with a 95 day redemption notice period. Equity, fixed income and cash and cash equivalents have no specified redemption frequency and notice period and may be redeemed daily. As of December 31, 2018 we do not have an intent to sell or otherwise dispose of these investment assets at prices different than the net asset value per share. Our investment strategy is to optimize investment returns through a diversified portfolio of investments, taking into consideration underlying plan liabilities and asset volatility. The defined benefit asset allocation policy of the plans allow for an equity allocation of 0% to 75%, a fixed income allocation of 25% to 100%, a cash allocation of up to 25% and other investments of up to 20%. Asset allocations are based on the underlying liability structure. All retirement asset allocations are reviewed periodically to ensure the allocation meets the needs of the liability structure. Our 2019 expected blended long-term rate of return on plan assets of 6.0% was determined based on the nature of the plans’ investments, our current asset allocation and projected long-term rates of return from pension investment consultants. Estimated Future Retirement Benefit Payments The following retirement benefit payments are expected to be paid: (In millions) Pension Benefits Postretirement 2019 $ 39.4 $ 0.1 2020 41.0 0.1 2021 42.1 0.1 2022 43.4 0.1 2023 44.4 0.1 Years 2024-2028 234.7 0.3 Estimated future retirement benefit payments above are estimates and could change significantly based on differences between actuarial assumptions and actual events and decisions related to lump sum distribution options that are available to participants in certain plans. Defined Contribution Plan Contributions We sponsor a number of defined contribution plans. Contributions are determined under various formulas. Cash contributions by the Company related to these plans amounted to $29.5 million, $29.1 million and $22.7 million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The 2018 effective income tax rate was unfavorably impacted by the repeal of the Domestic Production Activity (Internal Revenue Code Section 199) Deduction, a valuation allowance increase, an adjustment to the provisional net benefit recorded in 2017 under the Tax Act, state and local taxes, unfavorable tax rates in foreign jurisdictions, and increases in uncertain tax positions. The 2017 effective income tax rate was favorably impacted by the Tax Act. The effective income tax rates for 2017 and 2016 were favorably impacted by a tax benefit related to share-based compensation, the tax benefit attributable to the Domestic Production Activity (Internal Revenue Code Section 199) Deduction and favorable tax rates in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by state and local taxes and increases to uncertain tax positions. The Tax Act made significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code including a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, generally providing for an exemption from federal income tax for dividends received from foreign subsidiaries, and imposing a one- time The Tax Act included a provision for Global Intangible Low-Taxed A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits (“UTBs”) was as follows: (In millions) 2018 2017 2016 Unrecognized tax benefits — beginning of year $ 87.5 $ 58.2 $ 38.2 Gross additions — current year tax positions 9.1 31.0 10.7 Gross additions — prior year tax positions 9.3 10.9 10.4 Gross additions (reductions) — purchase accounting adjustments 1.0 4.0 9.7 Gross reductions — prior year tax positions (14.5 ) (9.4 ) (9.8 ) Gross reductions — settlements with taxing authorities (8.9 ) (7.2 ) (1.0 ) Unrecognized tax benefits — end of year $ 83.5 $ 87.5 $ 58.2 The amount of UTBs that, if recognized as of December 31, 2018, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate was $64.3 million. It is reasonably possible that, within the next twelve months, total UTBs may decrease in the range of $1.4 million to $3.5 million primarily as a result of the conclusion of U.S. federal, state and foreign income tax proceedings. We classify interest and penalty accruals related to UTBs as income tax expense. In 2018, we recognized an interest and penalty expense of approximately $2.2 million. In 2017, we recognized an interest and penalty expense of approximately $2.0 million. In 2016, we recognized an interest and penalty expense of approximately $1.1 million. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, we had accruals for the payment of interest and penalties of $14.4 million and $11.8 million, respectively. We file income tax returns in the U.S., various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is open and subject to examination for tax years 2016 and subsequent by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). In addition to the U.S., we have tax years that remain open and subject to examination by tax authorities in the following major taxing jurisdictions: Canada for years after 2013, Mexico for years after 2012 and China for years after 2014. Income taxes in 2018, 2017 and 2016 were as follows: (In millions) 2018 2017 2016 Current Federal $ 93.5 $ 133.1 $ 150.4 Foreign 26.4 22.4 22.3 State and other 24.1 22.8 22.9 Deferred Federal, state and other 4.8 (27.2 ) (23.9 ) Foreign (1.8 ) 8.4 (2.0 ) Total income tax expense $ 147.0 $ 159.5 $ 169.7 The components of net deferred tax assets (liabilities) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows: (In millions) 2018 2017 Deferred tax assets: Compensation and benefits $ 31.5 $ 22.1 Defined benefit plans 39.3 43.7 Capitalized inventories 16.1 11.1 Accounts receivable 5.4 7.8 Other accrued expenses 55.2 45.6 Net operating loss and other tax carryforwards 21.2 25.6 Valuation allowance (13.3 ) (11.0 ) Miscellaneous 2.5 3.7 Total deferred tax assets 157.9 148.6 Deferred tax liabilities: LIFO inventories 0.0 (4.2 ) Fixed assets (60.2 ) (44.5 ) Intangible assets (224.6 ) (232.0 ) Investment in partnership (3.8 ) (9.2 ) Miscellaneous (20.0 ) (16.1 ) Total deferred tax liabilities (308.6 ) (306.0 ) Net deferred tax liability $ (150.7 ) $ (157.4 ) In accordance with ASC requirements for Income Taxes, deferred taxes were classified in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 as follows: (In millions) 2018 2017 Other assets 11.9 9.4 Deferred income taxes (162.6 ) (166.8 ) Net deferred tax liability $ (150.7 ) $ (157.4 ) As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had deferred tax assets relating to net operating losses, capital losses, and other tax carryforwards of $21.2 million and $25.6 million, respectively, of which approximately $7.1 million will expire between 2019 and 2023, and the remainder of which will expire in 2024 and thereafter. The Company has provided a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of certain of these deferred tax assets, as management has concluded that, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be fully realized. Under the Tax Act, the accumulated foreign earnings and profits of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017 are subject to a deemed repatriation tax and should not be subject to additional U.S. federal income tax upon an actual repatriation of those earnings. As a result, the Company has recorded an estimated tax liability of $9.3 million for foreign and state taxes that would be payable on a distribution of those earnings and profits. We have not provided for deferred taxes on the remaining book over tax outside basis differences of our foreign subsidiaries. The outside basis differences of foreign subsidiaries considered indefinitely reinvested totaled approximately $128.1million at December 31, 2018. The associated deferred tax liability on this basis difference is less than $5 million.

Contingencies	23. Contingencies Litigation The Company is a defendant in lawsuits that are ordinary routine litigation matters incidental to its businesses. It is not possible to predict the outcome of the pending actions, and, as with any litigation, it is possible that these actions could be decided unfavorably to the Company. The Company believes that there are meritorious defenses to these actions and that these actions will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition, and, where appropriate, these actions are being vigorously contested. Accordingly the Company believes the likelihood of material loss is remote. Environmental Compliance with federal, state and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, did not have a material effect on capital expenditures, earnings or the competitive position of Fortune Brands. Several of our subsidiaries have been designated as potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) under “Superfund” or similar state laws. As of December 31, 2018, ten such instances have not been dismissed, settled or otherwise resolved. In 2018, none of our subsidiaries were identified as a PRP in a new instance and no instances were settled, dismissed or otherwise resolved. In most instances where our subsidiaries are named as a PRP, we enter into cost-sharing arrangements with other PRPs. We give notice to insurance carriers of potential PRP liability, but very rarely, if ever, receive reimbursement from insurance for PRP costs. We believe that the cost of complying with the present environmental protection laws, before considering estimated recoveries either from other PRPs or insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, we had accruals of $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, relating to environmental compliance and cleanup including, but not limited to, the above mentioned Superfund sites.

Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets We evaluate the recoverability of goodwill using a weighting of the income (80%) and market (20%) approaches. For the income approach, we use a discounted cash flow model, estimating the future cash flows of the reporting units to which the goodwill relates, and then discounting the future cash flows at a market-participant-derived discount rate. In determining the estimated future cash flows, we consider current and projected future levels of income based on management’s plans for that business; business trends, prospects and market and economic conditions; and market-participant considerations. Furthermore, our projection for the U.S. home products market is inherently subject to a number of uncertain factors, such as employment, home prices, credit availability, new home starts and the rate of home foreclosures. For the market approach, we apply market multiples for peer groups to the current operating results of the reporting units to determine each reporting unit’s fair value. The Company’s reporting units are operating segments, or one level below operating segments when appropriate. When the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we measure and recognize the amount of the goodwill impairment loss based on that difference. Purchased intangible assets other than goodwill are amortized over their useful lives unless those lives are determined to be indefinite. The determination of the useful life of an intangible asset other than goodwill is based on factors including historical tradename performance with respect to consumer name recognition, geographic market presence, market share, and plans for ongoing tradename support and promotion. Certain of our tradenames have been assigned an indefinite life as we currently anticipate that these tradenames will contribute cash flows to the Company indefinitely. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are evaluated at least annually to determine whether the indefinite useful life is appropriate. We measure the fair value of identifiable intangible assets upon acquisition and we review for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, and whenever market or business events indicate there may be a potential impairment of that intangible asset. Impairment losses are recorded to the extent that the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value. We measure fair value using the standard relief-from-royalty approach which estimates the present value of royalty income that could be hypothetically earned by licensing the brand name to a third party over the remaining useful life. The determination of fair value using this technique requires the use of estimates and assumptions related to the projected tradename revenue growth, the assumed royalty rate and the discount rate. We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. Qualitative factors include changes in volume, customers and the industry. If it is deemed more likely than not that an intangible asset is impaired, we will perform a quantitative impairment test. The events and/or circumstances that could have a potential negative effect on the estimated fair value of our reporting units and indefinite-lived tradenames include: actual new construction and repair and remodel growth rates that fall below our assumptions, actions of key customers, increases in discount rates, continued economic uncertainty, higher levels of unemployment, weak consumer confidence, lower levels of discretionary consumer spending and a decrease in royalty rates. We cannot predict the occurrence of certain events or changes in circumstances that might adversely affect the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.
Equity securities	Investments in Equity Securities non-controlling During the fourth quarter of 2018, our Plumbing segment entered into strategic partnerships with several companies who incorporate emerging technology into plumbing-related products, and at the same time acquired non-controlling shut-off As of December 31, 2018, all of our investments in our strategic partners do not have readily determinable fair values. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the carrying value of our investments was $28.7 million and zero, respectively, which is included in other assets within our Consolidated Balance Sheet. There were no impairments or other changes resulting from observable prices changes recorded during the year ended December 31, 2018. Impairments of $7.0 million were recorded within Other income, net within the Consolidated Statements of Income during the year ended December 31, 2017 (see Note 22).
Defined Benefit Plans	Defined Benefit Plans We record amounts relating to these plans based on calculations in accordance with ASC requirements for Compensation – Retirement Benefits, which include various actuarial assumptions, including discount rates, assumed rates of return, compensation increases, turnover rates and health care cost trend rates. We recognize changes in the fair value of pension plan assets and net actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10 percent of the greater of the fair value of pension plan assets or each plan’s projected benefit obligation (the “corridor”) in earnings immediately upon remeasurement, which is at least annually in the fourth quarter of each year. We review our actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and make modifications to the assumptions based on current economic conditions and trends. The discount rate used to measure obligations is based on a spot-rate yield curve on a plan-by-plan

We record liabilities for uncertain income tax positions based on a two-step The Tax Act made significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code including a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, generally providing for an exemption from federal income tax for dividends received from foreign subsidiaries, and imposing a one- time The Tax Act included a provision for Global Intangible Low-Taxed

Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, 2014-09 A majority of our sales revenue continues to be recognized when products are shipped from our facilities to our customers. Previously, for certain products, we recognized sales revenue at destination as we determined risks and rewards transferred at that point. We now recognize sales revenue for these customers at the shipping point of the products consistent with the respective contractual terms. See Note 14, “Revenue,” for further information. Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “right-of-use” 2018-01, 2018-10 2018-11, 2016-02 We plan to adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2019 using the transition method introduced by ASU 2018-11, While we are continuing to finalize our assessment of the impacts of the standard, we have completed our scoping reviews, identified our significant leases by segment and by asset type, and made progress in developing accounting policies upon adoption of the standard. We have implemented an accounting system to support the future state leasing process and input the data from substantially all of our existing leases into the system.

New Accounting Pronouncement or Change in Accounting Principle, Description	Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 which removes the requirement to disclose: 1) amount of and reasons for transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, 2) policy for timing of transfers between levels, and 3) valuation processes for Level 3 investments. In addition, this guidance modifies and adds other disclosure requirements, which primarily relate to valuation of Level 3 assets and liabilities. The guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on our financial statements. Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14 which removes several disclosure requirements, including the amount in AOCI expected to be recognized in income over the next fiscal year and the effects of a 1% change in assumed health care cost trend rates and adds new disclosure requirements to explain reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period, and to disclose weighted-average interest crediting rates for plans with promised interest crediting rates. The guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on our financial statements. Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15 which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. Costs to obtain software, including configuration and integration with legacy IT systems, coding and testing, including parallel process phases are eligible for capitalization under the new standard. In addition, activities that would be expensed include costs related to vendor demonstrations, determining performance and technology requirements and training activities. The standard is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements.	Codification Improvements In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09 which includes technical corrections, clarifications, and other minor improvements to various areas including business combinations, fair value measurements and hedging. The transition and effective date guidance is based on the facts and circumstances of each amendment. Some of the amendments in this standard were effective immediately, while others will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019. Our adoption of the immediately effective pieces of this standard did not have a material effect on our financial statements, nor do we expect the adoption of the other aspects of this standard to be material.	Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07 which simplifies the accounting for share-based arrangements with nonemployees. The new guidance generally aligns the accounting for share-based awards to nonemployees with the guidance for share-based awards to employees. The guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on our financial statements.
